What LEGO themes have you invested in the most?

[spener90]

Pity +1 whether it's true or not...

It was me, I enjoy sarcasm.  And if it isn't sarcasm, I feel for you.

Monster Fighters is making a run at the 3rd spot after yesterday.

 

I really hope that theme does well.  I don't have huge expectations, but a 20% increase in value after MSRP would be alright with me.

 

I am counting on the Vampyre Castle to do well. Have a lot of them.

[exciter1]

I can't pick just one, but my portfolio is pretty diverse with Star Wars, LOTR, Ninjago, Monster Fighters, Super Heroes, Modulars, Friends, etc.  I have quite a bit dumped in to Monster Fighters as well.  I have a pretty big City collection, but mostly stuff acquired at 50% off and will be thinned out the next couple years.

As long as you don't like prince of Persia and world racers. Lol

There are a few of those running around in there.

They're for me anyway. :derisive:

Haha, yes I forgot to hit the sarcasm button. *S

Before investing, I had mostly classic castle, including all the forest men. For investing purposes, I'm actually pretty evenly distributed between Super Heros, MF, and LoTR as I've only purchased sets on discount or others retiring soon (Orc forge).

I'm primarily Star Wars, but haven't got into many of the expensive sets yet. After that its superheroes, Batman especially, then Lord of the Rings. I'd like to get into some of the expensive buildings and trains but will have more money available for those starting next year.

I am about half Harry Potter (30 sets) and half mixed. I got hooked on that theme with my first investment purchase, 10197 Diagon Alley. I paid close to current ebay prices for most of it so i may never make a profit. Maybe my kid will enjoy them in 10 years.

[peculiar23]

I have a pretty diverse collection. especially in the used sets. But by quantity alone Collectible Minifigs is #1 with 201 figs. and Star Wars is #2 with 68 sets.

[Guest ph4tb0i]

Trains, trains and more trains. I don't think there are many better sets that allow you to part the set out and sell the individuals for a profit as well as trains do.

The top three in my Brickfolio:

 

Architecture - 16

Star Wars - 10

Friends - 10

 

I know WTF right? To be fair - the architecture line is for me, and the Star Wars are more investments, while the Friends set are my daughters but this is a good was to keep track of them.  That and I secretly love Olivia...oh wait...too much???

[TheDarkness]

It was Harry Potter but has pretty much been overtaken by LOTR

[brickolodon]

I didn't see any Technics here....???

Hero Factory.

Just to piss off all the non believers.

Haha    Pics or it didn't happen Orc!

[Guest eightbrick]

Set wise, Dino Attack (have seven Street Sprinters from the theme... six now actually because I caved on one ). Value wise, Seasonal leads for my two Winter Cottages. LOTR, Star Wars, Ninjago, Friends, Technic and City make up the rest. I'm really small time compared to any (all) of you

 

EDIT: Oops, I didn't realize how many Friends sets I had in my inventory, I have 6 from the Friends series to match Dino Attack in number of sets.

It was just a joke which thankfully you got. I do have a decent number of Hero Factory sets (of which I do like for real, same as Bionicle, and each for different reasons) but it isn't my top stocked theme. From pure numbers, Collectable Minifigures is my #1 in stock and I'm not even kidding about that. ;)

[glucapg]

Star Wars and LOTR

[glucapg]

I wanna see emazers answer.

 

 

33 HHouse...really cool!

[brickolodon]

Hero Factory.

You're not listing Technic as a theme?

 

Turns out its what I got most and I think it's a theme that is often overlooked but yields great returns...

Technic is a great way to diversify, and we don't hear much chatter about it other than the Unimog and Crawler, but the smaller sets do really good if you look at past performances. If anyone still has the chance to pick up some 9390 Mini Tow Trucks for below US retail, or even at it, it looks like it has a good future lined up for itself. I'm also looking at the new bike and hovercraft. Like Creator, usually, the "fresh" sets do the best.

Edited the poll to include Technic

[BuckeyeFanDan]

Monster Fighters, then LOTR, Hobbit, Winter Village and CMF.

 

I am also sure that I am one of the very few on Brickpicker that has no Star Wars sets at all.

You poor deprived soul! You just not into Star Wars?

I enjoy the movies, but for some reason just can't get into the LEGO sets.  I do have R2D2 on my list for future investment though.  I think that one will be a huge winner!  The new Ewok Village looks pretty good too.
